Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My husband is 38 years old this year. This year, he was carefully diagnosed with prostatitis and has been taking medication for treatment. Later, there was a recurrence of redness and swelling in the urethral orifice. Is it prostatitis with urethral orifice redness and swelling, or is it just urethritis?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, simple prostatitis will never cause redness and swelling of the urethral meatus. Now that you have developed redness and swelling of the urethral meatus again, it proves that you not only have prostatitis but also urethritis. You need to pay attention to your hygiene, drink more water, and avoid sexual activity for a while. During the acute recurrence of urethritis, it is essential to use antibiotics for treatment. Penicillin-class antibiotics or quinolone-class antibiotics are generally preferred for treatment.
